My partner was married to but now divorced from a US Citizen. They have a daughter with Dual Nationality. My partner and I have been in a relationship for approx 3 years. My daughter lives with us. My partner's exwife now plans to take her daughter and return to the US to look after her mother who has long term health issues. We would like to move to the US in order that my partner, my daughter and I can continue the contact that we have enjoyed here (approx 50% contact, several nights a week plus a weekend every other). As the parent of a US Citizen under 21, we "think" my partner will be ok but we are struggling to find anything about long term partners and children. We notice that Step family is ok but should we get married just to please the authorities!? I would need to work in the states to ensure our income supports us adequately.
I did a search on the internet and found a site that gave the Immigration Act and there was mention of an amendment for adding Perminant Partnership but I can't find mention of this anywhere else.
I would be really grateful if anyone can help and I am sure there are many other families in this situation that may benefit from it.
Thanks
